Interesting. And the Stars and Stripes? Slavery existed for 84 years under that flag. Only 4 under the Confederate flag.

These people don't want truth. They only want lightning rods to hate white people.
-
Because that's how long the damn "country" lasted. If they had their way it would be longer.
-
Slavery was on its way out anyway
-
Then why would a whole nation secede and cause SO much political and real conflicts over it? Don't say states rights because there are a ton of conflicts that led to the war that were directly a result from slavery. It was not on its way out, they wanted to expand it to new territories becoming states.
-
Machines would have started replacing and it just wouldn't be economical to house hundreds of slaves and feed them. I'm not saying it would have diminished altogether but the population of slaves would have diminished. [spoiler]States Rights[/spoiler]
-
Actually, farming equipment was being worked on, like the cotton gin. In the south, instead of slavery dying, it meant expansion with free labor and the ability for more land. In the south, it wasn't about money, but wealth was how many slaves you owned
-
Which the majority of ownership was within a small percent of the population. Th common man didn't own any
-
Oh the common man was rather poor in the south compared to the north. Occasionally they would rent a slave though, or a servant.
-
If they were poor they wouldn't have the money to rent
-
People rent when they're poor today...college students don't buy a house and pay for college, they rent until later Just an analogy.
-
I'm not even going to continue to argue. I spent too long in this thread doing it

Yes it was states rights. But the massive amounts of fighting over slaves before the war even started shows it was the straw that broke the camels back.
